Andy Murray has been constantly complaining about TNT Sports’ coverage of the Australian Open, it has been revealed. The three-time Grand Slam champion has stepped away from the tennis scene following his retirement in the summer of 2024. He has been loving life away from the spotlight, spending plenty of time on the golf course in a bid to reduce his handicap.

However, it seems Murray retains a keen interest in watching the sport, with the 38-year-old keeping tabs on this year’s Grand Slam at Melbourne Park. During a live broadcast on TNT Sports to preview the quarter-finals, presenter Laura Robson revealed that Murray had been messaging her with one specific complaint.

He was unhappy with the panel overlooking the rise of Learner Tien, who has reached the last eight of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.

She began: “In the men’s matches tomorrow, Alexander Zverev against Learner Tien in the day session. I have a feeling that’s an upset.”

Fellow pundit Tim Henman then turned to look at Murray’s brother Jamie and said: “Your brother’s been banging on about Learner Tien.”

Robson added: “We’ve had non-stop messages from Andy throughout the week saying we’re not talking enough about Tien. It just feels like Tien playing with that much more aggression with Michael Chang as his coach.

“He’s got that belief in his game and there’s no weaknesses that stand out because he does everything really well.”

It comes after Robson admitted that she had been begging Murray to delve into punditry amid speculation that he could join the BBC‘s coverage of Wimbledon later this year.

However, the presenter conceded that such a move is unlikely, with Murray yet to show any serious interest in taking up media work.

“I’ve told him I’d like to see it,” revealed Robson to Express Sport. “Every time I see him, I’m like: ‘When are you coming on?’. But no, I think he’s just happy to play golf at the minute. Eventually, maybe he might find some joy in trying it out.

“I think he’s very settled at home, but if he eventually decides to do it, I know he’d be great and he would kill it in any sort of analyst role.

“I know he thinks that men’s matches are too long to commentate on as well. So let’s maybe throw him a women’s match and see how that goes.”
